Do men ever go to heaven?

Quote Hey David,Esther 9:5 The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.This is what their celebrating, sounds like a pagan custom, could there be anything more in opposition to Christian principles.19 That is why rural Jews—those living in v…[Read more]

I saw this video a long time ago, after reading a book called “hyperspace.” It's such a fascinating idea. It seems to make the idea of other beings existing, yet unseen, seem possible. It also does explain it in a way that makes it seem like science, so that miracles aren't really miracles, just things happening that are beyond what we can…[Read more]

Jammin, I just noticed that you did answer my question. You said:”here is your question”And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”this is my answer1.GOD 2.you should not put a ? on that…[Read more]

Quote Unresearched opinion has claimed that the December 25 date of Christmas was selected to correspond with the Roman festival of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti or “Birthday of Sol Invictus.” but research reveals that the Feast of Christmas was instituted well before Sol Invictus, and that the choice of date rested on a perfect nine months after the…[Read more]

Dec 25, Christmas, pagan origin?Perhaps the title of this thread should just be: “dec 25, pagan origin.”Let's all focus on that, as there are other threads that revolve around more general ideas. Thanks.

Lu, being that I created this thread, I have a fairly good grasp on what it is about. And if I failed to communicate that properly, let me correct and clarify now.”THIS THREAD IS ABOUT WHETHER THE DATE OF DEC 25 IS BASED ON PAGAN HOLIDAYS. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT: WHERE DID THAT DATE ORIGINATE, AND HOW DID IT BECOME THE DATE FOR CELEBRATING…[Read more]

Lu, there are many reasons why it cants be dec 25. But that is not what this thread is about. I would really like for you to go over the facts as simply as you can concerning this thread.

I can testify if that is proof. 🙂

Quote To All…… Anyone who want to know the approximate time of Jesus berth,I think we all agree that the date of his birth is around the beginning of Oct.But this thread is more about whether or not 1. Christians tried to take over Dec 25, which was already a pagan holiday with pagan customs,or2. Christians chose Dec 25 before pagans ever…[Read more]

“Using a similar technique I have become the World's most accurate dart marksman. I've consecutively thrown over 1000 darts from a distance of 5 meters and hit the bullseye dead center each time. No kidding!My secret? I throw the dart at a wall, then go up and draw the target around it. Works perfectly every time!”I found this quote on a website…[Read more]

http://www.answering-islam.org/pagan/christmas.html“Polemicists (and The Da Vinci Code) frequently state that 25 December was Mithras’ birthday, yet the renowned Mithraic scholar, Dr Richard Gordon has corresponded to me that he is unaware of ‘a single date on a Mithraic inscription that falls in the winter, let alone late in December… We know…[Read more]

Ok, I see.But, so, neither of those 2 scriptures then show when jesus became the “anointed one” or Christ?

Quote Hi David, Quite right. But it is quite a match; don't you agree?My point exactly. From your perspective (what you want to be true) it is an amazing miracle.But from Bod's perspective, the many positive words that match up with the quran (also being 71) would be a “quite a match.”I feel I have to now learn the Bible code just to disprove it.…[Read more]

Quote angel means messenger–Nick stating what he believes Mike is saying.Quote Hi MB,So all the messengers in scripture are angels?–Nick.Nick, angel (an english word) doesn't mean messenger (an english word.)But, the Hebrew “mal·ʼakh′” (angel/messenger) and the Greek “ag′ge·los” (angel/messenger) both mean the same thing: (…[Read more]

It occurs to me that there are probably several threads that discuss the specific subject of whether Jesus (God's chief messenger) can be considered a messenger (GK: aggelos; or, angel).It would be so nice if for this thread, instead of discussing that separate subject, which does indeed definitely fit into this subject, in one of the many other…[Read more]

I didn't know that.I was surprised by that as well. Everyone seems to know that moving quickly…[Read more]

Since this thread is dysfunctional and impossible to use as it stands, I have a question Ed:Can you generate a list of several positive words that number 71?My guess is you can.So, quran equaling 71 and Babylon equaling 71 only goes to show that you can pick and choose either good or bad depending on what you prefer.If Bod was given a list of the…[Read more]

Quote the apple is green. it is so deliciouswhat is so delicious?Well, there is only the one subject (apple) in sentence 1. So, the “it” which is delicious must be that one subject, the apple.Now that I've answered your question, could you fill in the blanks for me, just so I undertand exactly how you understand 1 John 5:20?
